Queensland has developed a substantial number of enterprises whose business is based on the manufacture, marketing and sales of products and services based on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).
These include:
- companies which design, manufacture and market products both to the Australian and international markets
- international companies which recognise the skills available in Queensland and have established regional headquarters to service Australian and Asia/Pacific markets
- Queensland companies which focus on the distribution of products which originate from interstate and overseas
- specialist consulting companies which provide services to the types of companies outlined above and to international clients.
The Queensland GNSS industry has:
- an internationally significant concentration of precision GNSS machine control companies centred in south-east Queensland
- a nationally significant group of companies engaged in developing GNSS products and systems for vehicles
- strong GNSS and synergistic research capabilities
- an innovative GNSS user base.
The Department worked with Trade Queensland to develop Queensland's first Satellite Navigation Industry Directory. The directory showcases Queensland's GNSS capabilities in industry, government and applied research. The Industry Directory (PDF)* is maintained by Trade Queensland.
